EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") supersedes and replaces the
Schedule 13G/A filed on February 4, 2008 which was filed in error and should be
treated as withdrawn.
ITEM 1. Security and Issuer.
The class of equity securities to which this Statement relates is the
common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of EnerJex Resources, Inc.
(the "Issuer"), with its principal executive offices located at 27 Corporate
Woods, Suite 350, 10975 Grandview Drive, Overland Park, Kansas 66210.
ITEM 2. Identity and Background.
(a)-(c) and (f) The names of the persons filing this Statement (the
"Reporting Persons") are: (1) West Coast Opportunity Fund, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "Fund"); (2) West Coast Asset Management, Inc., a
California corporation (the "Managing Member"), which serves as the managing
member of the Fund; (3) R. Atticus Lowe, a United States Citizen ("Lowe"); (4)
Lance W. Helfert, a United States Citizen ("Helfert"); and (5) Paul J. Orfalea,
a United States Citizen ("Orfalea", and together with Lowe and Helfert, the
"Principals"). The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons
is located at 1205 Coast Village Road, Montecito, California 93108.
The Fund is a private investment vehicle formed for the purpose of
investing and trading in a wide variety of securities and financial instruments.
Each of Lowe's and Helfert's principal occupation is serving on the investment
committee of the Managing Member. Orfalea's principal occupation is involvement
with a range of business ventures (including the Managing Member) and
not-for-profit organizations.
The principal business of the Managing Member is providing investment
management services to the Fund and to separately managed accounts, some of
which are affiliated with the Reporting Persons. The Fund owns all of the shares
reported in this Statement. The Managing Member and the Principals may be deemed
to share (and with each other and not with any third party) voting and/or
dispositive power with respect to such shares, and disclaim beneficial ownership
of such shares.
(d)-(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has
been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The source and amount of funds used by the Reporting Persons in making
the purchases of the Debentures and Common Stock reported herein was $5,000,000
in the aggregate from working capital. The Reporting Persons may effect
purchases of securities through margin accounts which may extend margin credit
to the Reporting Persons as and when required to open or carry positions in the
margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock
exchange rules and brokers' credit policies. In such instances, the positions
held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment
of debit balances in the accounts.
Page 7 of 10 pages
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Purchase Agreement
On April 11, 2007, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement, Registration Rights Agreements, Senior Secured Debentures, a Pledge
and Security Agreement, a Secured Guaranty, and other related agreements (the
"Financing Agreements"), with certain investors, including the Fund (the
"Buyers"). Pursuant to the Financing Agreements, the Issuer issued senior
secured debentures (the "Debentures") for a total aggregate purchase price of
$9,000,000. In connection with the purchase, the Issuer further agreed to issue
to each of the Buyers one share of the Issuer's Common Stock for each dollar
purchased for a total issuance of 9,000,000 shares.
The first closing occurred on April 12, 2007 and the Fund was issued a
Debenture with a value of $3,500,000 and on the second closing on June 21, 2007
the Fund was issued a Debenture with a value of $1,500,000. As a result, the
Fund was also issued 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Consent and Waiver Agreement / Reverse Stock Split / Lock-Up Period
On April 9, 2008, the Issuer and its wholly owned operating subsidiary,
EnerJex Kansas, Inc., entered into a Debenture Holder Consent and Waiver
Agreement (the "Consent Agreement") with the Buyers. Under the terms of the
Consent Agreement, each of the Buyers consented to and approved (i) the
consummation of a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the
Issuer's shares of Common Stock, (ii) approved and consented to the Issuer's
proposed redemption of the Debentures prior to the filing of a Registration
Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement between the Issuer and the holders of the Debentures; and (iii) agreed
to enter into a standard lock-up agreement pursuant to which the Buyers shall
agree not to sell, transfer or dispose of any shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock owned by such Buyers until sixty (60) days following the closing of the
underwritten public offering of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "Offering")
without the written consent of the managing underwriter of the Offering.
Effective July 25, 2008, the Issuer amended its articles of
incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split. The share numbers reported
on the cover pages hereto and in Item 5 below are after giving effect to the
Reverse Stock Split.
All of the shares of Common Stock reported herein as being beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired for investment purposes. Except as
set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that
relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs
(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be
acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be
disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or
proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed
advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting
Persons, market conditions or other factors.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As of June 21, 2007, the Fund directly owns 1,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, representing 22.5% of all of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. The Managing Member and the Principals may be deemed to share (and with
each other and not with any third party) voting and/or dispositive power with
respect to such shares, and disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares. The
percentage set forth in this response is based on the 4,440,651 (post-split)
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 21, 2007, as reported by the
Issuer in its Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed on June 26, 2007.
Page 8 of 10 pages
(b) The Reporting Persons have shared power (with each other and
not with any third party) to vote and dispose of the 1,000,000 shares reported
herein.
(c) No transactions in the Common Stock have been effected by the
Reporting Persons in the past sixty (60) days.
